Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaAnnoying tuk tuk drivers outside. The restaurant upstairs is very expensive.
Location was good, close to the Taj Mahal.

Australiawas ok.
the rooftop terrace was great for meals and the view of the Taj... the staff was friendly. location great. we didn't go around much for food as we were there overnight to visit the Taj early morning. it was a convenient and cheap place to stay. we liked it. safety could be of concern because a strange beggar followed us up to our room door and no staff intervened until i raised my voice!

BrazilBreakfast could be better. Paid for the taj room. While the view is good, it's a bit obstructed by bars in front of the window to stop monkeys, which could easily be replaced by glasses. There's also a privacy problem, as they put the rooftop cafe in front of the room, so lots of people can see inside your room until 11 PM. They also leave the music going on until that time.
Very good location

FranceVery dark room with no natural light and bad lighting. Prices on the rooftop are high so we didn’t eat there (compared to restaurants around).
The view for sure! the rooftop is priceless and I enjoyed spending time there reading, working, or simply admiring the view. Staff was great. Good internet. We slept well as it was very quiet. Appreciated the free chai on the rooftop.

United Kingdom- the power cut out about 5/6 times a day during my stay (and I was out a lot of the time) - I had a private room on the ground floor (separate building to reception) and the walls were so thin, you could here whenever people walked by the room. The room next door had a Royal Enfield outside his room (in the communal area) and they always started it up inside - Goats chained to the wall in the alley way - not to do with the hostel but they are there and it’s not nice to see, plus they occasionally smell
The view - worth staying here just for that, I could spend hours there. The food was good but over priced compared to everywhere else. Lots of bars and restaurants within 2 minute walk. Roof top is a good place to socialise. So close to the Taj, it’s just a 5 minute walk. Staff were all very friendly and chatty, they helped book my onward train journey. Will be staying at Joeys in Delhi too

United KingdomTowels can be borrowed, though it doesn't say this on the listing. My bedside lamp was not working. I believe they have an electrician on hand to fix problems usually but I only stayed one night so it was not fixed before I left.
The location is perfect for seeing the Taj Mahal. There was a free walking tour to a nice place to see the sunset, with free chai and coffee offered before. The staff are all friendly with good knowledge of the area. The rooms are nice, equipped with everything you expect from a hostel (TP and toiletries), and the showers are hot. Two great cafes either side of the hostel (Yash Cafe my favourite).
